The Phillies celebrated their 1993 NL East Division championship in Pittsburgh, but the Steel City has long been a place worth looking back fondly on for the Phillies, and their fans.

Baseball is a funny sport based on a number of odds. Nine players in a lineup, nine innings, 27 outs. Unlike any other sport, baseball has no time limit. A game could take just under two hours or it could take as long as four hours just to play a full nine innings, never mind the possibility of extra innings. Managers wear uniforms.

Baseball is also funny because no matter how good a team may be, they may still have a series in which they look like a cellar-dweller, unable to take advantage of an unquestioned talent advantage on the mound, in the field, at the plate and in the dugout. Take, for instance, the Phillies and Pirates.
